How do you test an edge case?
Edge test case scenarios are those that are possible, but unknown or accidental features of the requirements. Boundary testing, in which testers validate between the extreme ends of a range of inputs, is a great way to find edge cases when testers are dealing with specific and calculated value fields.
How do I get better at identifying edge cases?
The second most crucial step for identifying edge cases is the testing phase. Both unit-testing and user-testing can be helpful here. Simply writing out good unit tests will force you to start thinking about edge cases. And getting other users to start playing around with the code can help catch some gaps.
What are edge cases in unit testing?
Edge Cases
The situation where the test examines either the beginning or the end of a range, but not the middle, is called an edge case. In a simple, one-dimensional problem, the two edge cases should always be tested along with at least one internal point.
